Wat Roka Kandal

Kratie


This beautiful little temple dating from the 19th century is one of the oldest in the region. The restored interior now houses a small handicraft centre with infrequent hours. Even if you find it closed, the shaded grounds, adjacent to some lovely traditional wooden houses, are worth a wander. It's about 2km south of Kratie on the road to Chhlong.
